Nick, The team idea sounds good for big companies.  I work for a smaller company so the agents usually don't want to be part of a team.  Oh, and how is your recovery going?

Nick,  I think teams are about chemistry.  If the parts don;t mix well the team will probably not last long.

if you like the idea of having a "team" you can present the image without having the cost. Gather your resources..... Mortgage person, reliable references for landscaping, painting, -- don't forget to work with a Stager, and use their information in your Listing Packets. I work with many Realtors on a regular basis, and they use our info often and present us as part of their "team."  On the other hand....if you're so busy with clients.....  then a team would likely be a good idea.
